Biofilms are structured microbial communities attached to surfaces, which play a significant
role in the persistence of biofoulings in both medical and industrial settings. Bacteria in …

When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of
biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as …

Fouling and contamination of surfaces are prevailing challenges humanities facing today in
fields such as healthcare, hospitality, and food manufacturing. These challenges strongly …

In this work, we successfully constructed an asymmetric superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic
polyurethane sponge (aSS-PU) for wound healing. Briefly, the fluorinated zinc oxide …

The non-fouling condition, bacteria-free environment and suitable moisture at wound site
are crucial for chronic wound healing. However, it remains highly meaningful yet …

Hybrid organic–inorganic materials are attracting enormous interest in materials science
due to the combination of multiple advantageous properties of both organic and inorganic …

The recent COVID‐19 pandemic and the accelerating rise of deaths associated with
antibiotic‐resistant bacterial strains have highlighted the global health and economic threats …

Bacterial invasion and proliferation on various surfaces pose a serious threat to public
